Choosing one commercial provider, Planet Labs in the US stores and sells current and historical images of world land masses every day.

That's just generally-available commercial stuff, not even military stuff, which I suspect Ukraine gets.
Part of the last aid package of the US included commercial satellite images. Probably a subscription or something similar.. just in case DOD no longer is allowed to provide. Also that resulution is probably enough for most things, while targeting specifics can be pictures more adhoc or surveiled with a drone.
Ah, gotcha. It sounds like it's been provided in aid packages for a while. This was a year-and-a-half ago:
